Bad taste

A bakery and a kebab shop have been forced to closed after Cambridge Council made an unannounced inspection on 5th January.

The inspection came after a customer complained about, Hi, Sweety!, a bakery located at 71a Regent street.

During the inspection, a cockroach infestation was found near to where food was being prepared. Another precautionary inspection was then made at City Kebab next door where a similar infestation was also discovered.

Both businesses were then forced to close under Hygiene Emergency Orders while the infestation was treated. City Kebab then reopened only four days later on the 10th while Hi, Sweety! reopened on the 17th.
